Hi all, I’m working on a proof of concept to limit peak energy usage. (Reason: Off-grid battery capacity is limited to ±3000W but could also be useful since in Belgium we now get charged based on energy peaks.) Ideal setup Energy is monitored for every device When the total energy used is higher…

A few thoughts from another (former) dev… I’ll be following your developments here for when I do a similar thing. For your priority list, I think you could use an input select or input text helper by storing the entity IDs. The latter would need a bit more coding to parse it where you use it. Basi…

A mutable stack might be overkill since I feel the order should be based on the average duration a device runs. E.g. from water kettle to washing machine. It doesn’t matter that the washing machine is turned off for 3 minutes (using water kettle) but it does matter if you can’t use the water kettle …

Have a look at this blueprint: [image] PV / Solar Excess Optimizer: Auto-control appliances (wallbox, dish washer, heatpump, ...) based on excess solar power Blueprints Exchange <<<<< DEPRECATED: This blueprint is deprecated. I implemented it from the ground u…

Did you end up getting anywhere with this? I have a similar use case to you, in that I have an RV that has a limited amount of power available (usually 50A, but sometimes 30A or 15A, depending on where we are.) I have this selectable and have some automation around it (including a warning when we ha…

Update from me, for anyone interested: I found a project that fits the bill for me, but it was written in Italian, so it wasn’t showing up based on my search terms. I liberally applied some GPT to help translate it to English, and forked it here: GitHub - mavenius/Power-Control-HomeAssistant: Proget…
